cammon, I know a few gifted young men who struggled socially as children but as young adults, they have close friends and they seem very happy overall. One of them hated school so much that he refused to go to school half of the time but he is starting his Ph.D this fall.
I think all of your hopes for your DS still can come true.
Thanks mana- I think DS will find his people. He's twice exceptional (ADHD) so his struggles are bit complex.
In keeping with the thread, I had quite a few people remark on DS's intelligence when he was small.
Only *one* person-- an outspoken teenager, mentioned, what are now obvious signs of ADHD. I think she flatly said, "he acts like he has ADHD." I was kind of grateful that someone came out and said it.
I think in the early years, the high intelligence and ADHD were equally apparent.
